Did you see that dirty shit Nate did to me at the end?

You can tell this man has heard every excuse and every delusion a lot of students have, I love it.

Bro, no joke, I am absolutely the next Tyson if he were fat, white, and slow. You better believe it.

Thanks for the Tyson tips. I’m sixty years old and have never fought professionally but I now feel confident that I can become the next heavyweight champion of the world. If you see me coming you better get off the side walk. Man, I’m pumped. Look for me soon at Madison Square Garden or Ceaser’s Palace, I’ll be knocking out the chumps.

I WaNnA FiGhT LiKe TySoN Ok, starting as a teenager Tyson used to run 5 miles a day, he spent hour on a slip bag. He ate almost no sugar to keep his body shredded, he lived with a world class boxing trainer, and he was genetically amazingly gifted.

Part of the reason Mike could move around his opponents and throw effective shots no matter how his stance ended up was because he was a converted southpaw. Cus made him switch and start training and fighting from an orthodox stance for that reason. Mike would naturally switch stances while throwing combinations which made it particularly difficult for his opponents to defend against his onslaught because they couldn't tell which side the power shot was going to come from.

The foot cam is really helpful. I’m the striking instructor at my college’s martial arts club, and when doing some instruction over zoom we actually made a dedicated foot camera to show the footwork for some moves :Р

Mike Tyson said once that boxing is for kids who don't have anything. Those people could be "Mike Tyson" but yeah, most of us, no. I'll never move like Tyson, but man his movements are so good.

6:17 Love the way he can bring his whole audience in on a private joke with no explanation.

One of my favorite more often true than not martial arts maxims is "all fighting is positioning." I like that even in this, the answer is still footwork.

I take movement inspiration from Tyson, Haglar, Lomachenko, and of course I I tie it all together with some dirty boxing techniques from Icy Mike!

Be ferophsious😂😂

Wakin up on a Sunday to another H2H video. Life is good.

I want there to be an official Hard2Hurt pinball machine now where all the sounds are just Mike making noises. Imagine the bumpers and rails going "Bing Bing Bop Bing Bop Bop, shhhhhh Bing Bop"

Seriously, thanks for showing the feet. Its hard to practice the stuff you show in these videos if I don't know how to move my feet around. Not all of us are already good or even decent yet

Hit when your opponent cant hit you, that you can deliver a punch with bad intentions without fear of being hit, that is the science. as Cus would say

We all forget that Mike had a great jab as well...quick, stiff jab, firing it off at the same time his opponent would...always against an opponent with a length and reach advantage...takes a lot of discipline to do that

I'm training a friend from scratch (he had a few months MT exp), the FIRST thing I taught him was the D'amato shift, shifting in and out, and how to "stay on his bicycle", just as movement and awareness of angles training. I taught him how to move, evade, defend, and finally how to hit, open and closed stance on both leads. Now we're working more Trevor Wittman/Duane Ludwig style "drive bys" from kickboxing range, with the shift- around in his back pocket, with the shifting cross and hitting off lateral steps (step out 2/4 and carry hip (pivot out) 1/3), and basic open stance lead foot fighting/positioning game I'm long as hell so I fight like a mix of Foreman, Floyd, Moore (poorly, and in a more boxing context of course, but those styles work well for Muay Thai clinching) When your partner matches your shift with a lateral step, I would push his shoulder with my head and crack the body if I can get his hands up. My favourite counter to people who shift around: If they do it "Loma" style by blocking your vision, but in MT/MMA - trap the hand, time an overhand elbow Tyson style - post on the head and fire shots at the "shoulders", catch the head as it passes through the "slots" when they level change, tire out their neck and head fight like Evander

Tyson was the perfect storm. Idk why people try to replicate greatness instead of achieving their own

the glove pull at the end....... loved it.

Thanks icy mik, now ima be the next Tyson! Ferothis!

Just worked some Dominick Cruz sequences heavily inspired by Tyson today, great timing

This is Tyson without the specific head movement, bending at the waist, inside advanced tricks, etc, but it's one of the best 'basically this is Tyson'. I always find your realistic outlook on martial arts very refreshing.

Personally when it comes to boxing I don’t think you should look at just 1 fighter and try to be like them for a number of reasons u should learn the basics then look at lots of different fighters and take what u can from them and make it work for u

I can't look at nate without thinking he looks like a ufc created character, I think it's his beard

9:34 (gasp) the rumored Anti-Dempsey Roll!

I’ve watched this channel for years, and I finally have something useful to say. Me and my son spar, and he does the side step kind of similar to this. Something he does very well is snatch a single leg at the end of one of these sequences. I find it’s damn near impossible to sprawl out of the takedown, cuz it’s from the side. I’m no wrestler, but it seems FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to survive a one-two, shift, random punch combo, single leg takedown.

That overhead angle was really cool and idek why lol

Love the content Mike, cheers.

i just found these videos...i love the way you talk about this.

loving the sound effects. Bing Bing boom! love your videos man. very informative

Bro, this combo looks so CLEAN. Mad props Master, mad Props..... respect 100%

great video for the footwork and elbows! Well explained! Enjoyed this! Thank you!

Man i love seeing when they're trying to demonstrate it but get more into it and jusy start having a good time, like you can really tell they enjoy fighting, everyone wants fighting to be this hardcore bloody sport but when youre actually training with others, its just fun (from what ive seen never knew anyone who enjoyed fighting like i do so more going off what i see than experienced unfortunately)

What a great video! Having the 'loading' explained is super insightful.

I lost it when you said “but you can shift again”😂😩😂😩

Well done video. Adding the Catskill style to your game is a huge benefit.

Best video explaining the move!! Thanks so much!!

Why I always have to come back to this video and have a Good laugh out of it...bruh you funny af and your videos are highly instructive,mixing accuracy and humor is the key to good coaching...keep the good work bro

Thank you for this!

I am someone who practices this a lot. Just that when I move to the sides I throw a jab or a cross while I jump sideways so that my opponent doesn’t know which side I’m moving to. Also to switch sides one doesn’t have to dip their head, one can squat and jump while throwing a jab or a cross to set up the next move and that would throw off my opponent. Your video is very cool and I learned a lot watching it, and you’re right, No one can be like Tyson but I think incorporating some of the pick a boo style can help what I already do with my longer arms. Thank you much!

THANK YOU ICY MIKE👍👍

YESSS! The Tyson Sequence! I remember asking for this one! 🙏🏼☺️ Also, Lomachenko loves this sequence a lot, and Nate even used his little glove pulling trick at the end there with the sequence 😉😂

Wiping the glove at the end - perfect!

Thank you for the video and the laughs brother ! ☺♥

brilliant. like seeing you with students.

Really good sequence, thanks for sharing!

love you Mike

That part 3 move is awesome gonna try it. "Fight like Tyson" I think that usually ppl say that just meaning same style, not necessarily skill or ability

Great video. I'd like to see a part 2 where its done in a kickboxing sequence so we can see how kicks may be added.

You should review Boxing reflex ball(the one which we put on like a hat) and see if it actually helps improve your reflex and timing.

Nice!!!!!! Definitely gonna use this footwork and technique and mix it with my kickboxing. Also do you have more video breakdowns of your clinch uppercuts? Love watching you use those in your sparring sessions

Great video as always, champ

Hey coach ur probably one of the best instructors ive ever seen.... My mind is blown bubba!!

Phenomenally excellent

Looked pretty slick. Nice video

Good stuff Mike

Yo coach, I've been teaching striking for about 5 years, and I teach this same sequence. I'm 6'6" and when in shape 230lbs, and the only one who I taught this to that made me feel actual pressure was a student only about 6 years younger than me (I'm 28) because he is already a super athlete, 5'11" and a solid 210lbs he hits with so much force when he remembers to stay tight that I legitimately gained distance and hard countered during sparring because of instinct like every real fight I've been in. That is 1/250 people I've trained or trained with who emulated Mike Tyson well enough and I'd say that's the luckiest draw to find that. My personal style is very much like Wonderboy so I live for the counter but don't mind putting out that pressure. Side kick nation lol. In all honesty I love your videos and by watching you, Wonderboy, fight tips, and a few others you have helped me so much with my ability to teach and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. Nothing but respect sir, keep being you

Icy Mike!! YOU DA MAN! I'd love to train with you and get some tips one day.

Great footwork! Nice!

Yes, a foot heavy episode! I'll be in my bunk.

I will try this on my next sparring session. LOL. Thanks. You're very funny while teaching.

Tyson fought so good because he had his corner yelling out combinations by number one through ten. He trained till he was like a machine that punched the shit out of you. You weren't just boxing Tyson in his prime. His corner would watch for openings and opportunities hard to see yourself as a fighter in action and yell out the numbered solution to that puzzle, which Mike had trained to immediately pick up and fire off. They had a great system and it was a huge advantage with such a dedicated fighter

very cool very chill very educational

For my Tyson style I use the rope drill and lead head hooks. Not to forget Tyson special inside lead body hook - lead uppercut combo. Basically going forward while constantly waving or slipping while jabing to get the angle for the big head hook.. Every gym has its on flavour.

Step one of becoming mike Tyson: get hypnotized at a young age

I love this type of teaching..it cuts the bull ... 💯 on the video

This coach is such a great guy, wish i could train with him 😀

I favorited this video to help me become the next karate based mike tyson in mma. I plan to use dmateo shift to set up spin kicks. And check for block kick. Side check kick specifically.

Nice visual breakdown...

I think a better response than the side step is the weldon reset to the right with the option to throw a cross left hook combo once you land. That way you don't end up so close to the guy (ending up probably playing his game on the inside) and have a better shot at escaping to an open portion of the ring because the guy is probably going to be trying to get you to step towards a corner or the ropes.

Great example!!

So this video is twofold: to educate on some simple Tyson footwork and to dog on your student. I respect this.

Oh this is awesome, thanks Icy Mike from the UK. I am learning to box & last week I tried being an out-fighter and spent 6 rounds against a far more experienced swarmer, and spent 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. Next time I rematch him, I'll try this instead, and spend 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. 👍

thank you bro, i finnaly understood :)

Great video!

It wasn't just his footwork, it was his crazy head movement.

Great video

Nate looks like the final evolution of Maddox. I was scared for Mike when Nate started moving around him!

Hilarious and informative i love it

"This will work. This'll work for you. It'll work against you, too, probably." Lmao top notch comedic timing

MI amigo usted acaba de hacer parecer a Mike Tyson un aficionando. Hace tiempo no veía tanta distorsión del sistema de Cus D Amato. JAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Éxitos!!!

Vasily Lomachenko has a similar style, only he deliberately throws a jab to get his opponent to put both his hands up in defense, effectively blinding himself, which Vasily then uses to quickly pivot to the sides.

Brilliant vid explained well and funny

You fool! Don't you realize what you've just done? Now all of the beginners will be unstoppable! Goddamn it Mike!

Good and fun video.

I have a feeling nate said something like "i wanna fight like Tyson" and thats why mike went on that whole rant.

This video is so brilliant and funny!!!

Bing, bop , bang sounds like bas Rutan lol but I absolutely love the knowledge of this guy hard 2 hurt is what I go to every single day

Nice sir

Love the work 😂🖤💯

He said be ferothis! lol! Great video!

It has taken 30 years but the D'Amato shift finally has reached its heyday I think. Awesome sequence btw!

As a boxer, watching this makes me think that if there was a 3 part boxing course this would be the intermediate episode. Real good stuff 🤝🏾

Can you please make a video about fighting flashlights in general? What to look for, and maybe some suggestions on certain flashlights? That would help a lot!

Nice vid. I’m prolly too old to learn but I find this really interesting . The body mechanics and being able to defend myself. I’d like to try a little training. Prolly get killed as I’m 50 this month. Lol.

I practice this ' shift ' after doing actually another FAMOUS Tyson punch when he dips his body / head to give a punch to the midsection. If you think about it, in that sequence, your in a position to shift and it works great of you knocked just a bit of wind out of your opponent to shock him a bit
